    Why automate

    Three reasons to automate your measurement

    Improve Measurement Consistency

    Reduce manual setup and measurement variation for more consistent results across parts and shifts.

    Up to 33% less deviation*

    Manage Inspection Costs

    Lower QC costs per part while enabling skilled personnel to focus on higher-value activities.

    1–2 years typical payback*

    Capture Smarter Data

    Automatically record measurement data for more efficient quality assurance and control.

    Our offer

    Automated Shaft Measurement •              
    with Laser Scan Micrometer

    A LSM integrated with a custom mechanical system and high-precision servo motors automatically measures OD, run-out and roundness of printer shafts.

    PCB Autoloading Inspection •                        
    with QV-APEX Vision Measuring Machine

    The QV-APEX VMM integrates with a high-volume PCB autoloading system — operators load the PCBs once, then the system measures unattended, freeing operators for more than 30 minutes per loading to focus on higher-value tasks.

    Semi-automation •                       
    with MiSTAR 555 CNC Coordinate Measuring Machine

    The operator scans a barcode, loads multiple workpieces into a dedicated jig, and presses Start. The system automatically clamps all workpieces, selects the measurement program, performs the inspection, and displays the OK/NG result — minimizing manual intervention and increasing machine utilization.

    Robot Loading •                       
    with MACH-V Coordinate Measuring Machine

    The MACH-V CMM integrates with a robotic loading system to transfer large, heavy metal shafts directly from the turning machine for inspection — reducing handling time by over 50% and minimizing loading position errors.

    Automated OD Measurements •                       
    with MD Auto Unit

    MD Auto unit integrates with a dedicated jig and control system to automatically measure the OD of three shafts simultaneously — measurement capacity while reducing operator-related variation.
